Its been awhile I know

Yes its been too long since I blogged sorry but life has taken off again in a good way...finished all my treatment now since oct 14th and all is going good so far. Not due back to hospital till Jan 20th and thats just to radiologist not back to breast clinic till June/July...
So at present I am trying to get myself moving again. Mind is willing the body is not but I am building myself up at a nice pace started back walking missy on longish walks about 1 mile- 2 mile walks and im feeling ok. The days I feel not up to it I have promised myself I will just veg out and relax...I did this Monday as I had no energy at all but felt grand again yesterday and today..
Ive started back reading at night in bed and am currently reading a book about Archangel Micheal. I have a fascination for Angels always did but love Micheal...  Love the stories in the book about all the people that believe he helped them out during times of trouble and I know he certainly helped me this past 12 months. I also decided to do out a new vision board for my room so Ive started collecting old magazines to start cutting things out. I feel it'll help me stay positive and there are a few things I would like to change in my present life (one being my weight) so Im going to focus on the positive and hopefully it'll all fall together in time...of course main vision is my health...On that note im off to bed to read and hopefully sleep..night and god bless x x

Second last radiotherapy and machine breaks down

Do u ever stop an wonder "why is it always me" I swear 2 treatments left (or so i thought now its 4!!)and now may b delayed as machine has broken down AGAIN!! Which causing us to be pushed out a day or two due to canceling our appointments ! I know it's inevitable to expect delays in hospital but so close to the end now I can see the finish line noooooooo....But on a positive not It's been a long 11 months but I'm still 6 ft above the ground hey that's something to celebrate for sure!

Saturday morning lie ins .. U can't beat um!!

Was suppose to get up at 5.30 with hubby to watch Ireland play wales in rugger but didn't even hear him get up which males a change but even do it took me forever to fall off to sleep last night I slept like a log!! So happy this autumn weather seems to suit my hot flushes and jeeps me slightly cooler at night. Having bedroom window open probably helps too poor Greg us probably getting pneumonia from it but he's not complaining infairness to him! Anyway Ireland were beaten so glad I didn't drag my arse out now I'm actually still In it I know that's very lazy but I've brought breakfast down and jumped back under covers - why the hell not I say - lol. I've my 20 yr school reunion tonight half allergic to the usual fools as we all had in our yr but have some good friends that I don't mind catching up with so il see how it goes! Can't believe I'm out of school 20 yrs were did it go? What have I done in that time? See that's another reason I hate reunion u question what uv done with ur life till now and start comparing it to the muppets ur allergic to in the first place !!! Well better go drag me arse into shower!!!

United we stand Jugs in our Hands ....

As ye all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so I wanted to post up something thats not just a copy and paste because yer not just anybody yer my friends!! I cant stress enough for everyone to check yourselves weekly no matter what your age is or whether you have someone or not in your family who has had Breast Cancer as unfortunately cancer doesnt care who you are how old/young you are, how healthy/unhealthy, tall/small, fat/thin its all down to how observant and aware of your body you are and if in doubt check it out !!!! Forget the embrassement believe me if you dont check it out and it turns out to be cancer the last thing on your mind will be embrassement so GET YOUR JUGS OUT ladies (and gents)...we're all to full of life to let it slip by due to lack of self awareness..
If we can all just make 1 person each aware of self examination and also that cancer is no longer a death sentence to all its treatable 99% of the time now. Ive even see changes in treamtents and diagnosis since Ive been diagnosed last Dec so together we CAN beat this and thats something we need to speak out about and let the youth of today know what to watch for and how to prevent it.
So grab a feel and save the tata's not just for the month of October but weekly and dont be afraid to ask for help...your life is precious all of our lives are and we deserve to live them to the fullest for as long as we can.................
Love Helen x x
